My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Please note that I am still in foster! I cannot be met until the end of February

From Foster mom:
Meet Chip
He does a good sit and down. Does fairly well with leave it when a treat is in your hand, if it hits the ground it is fair game.
Leash walking is going well for a young one and with it being so cold.
The VC off and not moving is fine. Moving it is questionable, turn it on and the vc is a very scary thing.
Nail Trimming and Brushing went very well. Even had a little wiggle in the tail.
We feed in the kennel for positive association. We use wait to put the food dish down and OK to release so he can eat. That way he isn't jumping on the dish to eat.
Ah-Ah is our no
Yes in place of a clicker.
He is a big on laying in your lap every chance he can get.
I haven't been able to identify a signal for when he needs to go out, but he will pee and poo when you put him out. If you wait too long he does walk over to the washable puppy pad and use it.
